" The penalty under under federal law for kidnapping with death resulting is death or life in prison. Reducing that determination will be made after the investigation is completed. After the case is presented to a grand jury and ultimately that decision is made by the Attorney General of the United States of America. --"

" your question is is there a Breckenridge society that the short answer is we don't know for sure. As well US attorney -- I've mentioned there's much investigation that remains to be done in this matter. But at the same time we want to speak to all of for minors particularly in the -- in Braintree Randolph area. But all the miners make very clear. There's nothing from this investigation that's been turned up. -- or otherwise -- federal and state authorities aware of any ongoing efforts to recruit. Young girls or boys. Here in Vermont to have sex with adults and you can rest assured that if evidence is uncovered that. We feel poses a risk to the public we will be the first to raise alarm bells public."

" They're going to do that echo that I think based on the investigation as a stands right now -- there's a continuing danger to the public. The logistics of that are still being worked out between the federal law enforcement state law enforcement but I would anticipate he'll be presented in federal court sometime next week as again got the lead the investigation is ongoing and we don't -- We're not going to comment on any of the respect any other potential defendants or custody situation to expect any potential witnesses or defendants. --"

" How Long Beach body usually to --"

" It as it has indicated yesterday that it's my understanding that. An autopsy being performed today so the answers those questions we'll have to we'll have to wait until the autopsy is a complete credit where there. And again the investigation is ongoing and we're not going to comment on any other potential defendants or any other potential individuals that might or might not be charged in the states has what -- numbers were still missing."

" As the US attorney has indicated is much investigation that remains to be done. Including and most importantly the autopsy scheduled to perform today. Those decisions about. Alteration to charges or additional charges in the future as the investigation to."

" What happens in the my office of the attorney general's office works very very closely in cases like this in cases where we have overlapping jurisdiction. As the cases as investigations proceed we're close contact close consultation. And prosecutorial decisions as to where case should be -- remain on number of factors. And there's the fact is the evidence we have in this case we have determination was made to a file kidnapping charges in federal court. Already."

" It will be dismissed without prejudice meaning it could be brought back but clearly. Main focus investigative wise and prosecution wise move beyond the kidnapping in the death of Brooke Bennett and so we've decided not to serve. Separate air forces and proceed at this time with unrelated aggravated sexual assault charge."

" Everywhere the other -- resisting police there was going to be an arraignment and subject for aggravated -- all that -- but. Utility turn and."

" This is just a situation that underscores what the US attorneys just sent. Our offices and other prosecutors offices and Vermont have worked closely together cordially together. And it was power agreement and unanimous agreement. The better route was to proceed against mr."

" Men in the federal court but speaker Pete broke back for instance certainly. So it seemed everyone involved was cases and is that not true."

" I don't comment on it means probably comics coming on. And -- underground yesterday you see wearing."

" I think it is it is contained in the affidavit charges that Jake's the email addresses to Domingo and Chevy 21. If you review the affidavit it indicates that. Those emails were produced from two locations mister -- home the IP addresses come back mister -- home and to mister -- work. It it might be it's like -- as was in the criminal complaint and then as those IP addresses -- the emails with those two. Email addresses both come back -- IP -- come back through that mister Jakes home or mister Jakes what's the business."

" There's the -- the same pain in the feel you believe it was real or imagined."

" Again I -- on the investigation is ongoing -- can't comment on that at this at this point."

" Early on there was talk there was -- neighborhoods -- anything the area. Even more we now read tonight that a plausible scenario or some sort of lose me. And believe they want targets."

" Clearly -- Brooke's disappearance finding her if she was alive that's the highest priority for. All of us. Would've been. Grossly negligent for us to consider all possibilities where she where she -- As the investigation continued with the hope that you found alive -- Coarsely it is unfortunate discovery this pretty. Is there any evidence that he was stated victory."

" You know again and again the investigation is ongoing and it just simply not a position to comment on on those those types of questions pretty he. We're over war against whatever. Cancel again and I think that the answer those questions are going to have to wait until they autopsy is completely into one -- There again investigations on going and that's just -- a question I'm home. I'm prepared to comment on this point --"

" Chapter and verse of the autopsy results were. Not likely be made public any time. Soon whether it be that this isn't that today homicide. It the specifics of what's -- autopsy well -- wait to further court proceed"
